Best Public Schools in Phoenix, NY

Summary:

The city of Phoenix, New York is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Michael A Maroun Elementary School, Emerson J Dillon Middle School, and John C Birdlebough High School. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with test scores below state averages, there are some standout elements worth noting across these schools.

John C Birdlebough High School appears to be the highest-performing school in the district, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a 83.8% four-year graduation rate, outpacing the district and state averages. Emerson J Dillon Middle School also stands out, with relatively strong performance on state math assessments, exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, Michael A Maroun Elementary School has a notably high percentage of white students (95.5%) compared to other racial/ethnic groups, which is significant given the district's overall demographics.

Across the district, the schools share some common challenges, including high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.02% to 59.92%. This suggests significant socioeconomic needs within the Phoenix Central School District that may be contributing to the overall academic performance challenges. However, the relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 9.8 to 13.9, indicate the district is investing resources into maintaining manageable class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning.
